Rep Power: 0 New EX coupe
My first Honda car - have had 2 CB750s in the past, one withover 100K, which is a lot of miles on a bike. This car is gorgeous. I wish it had another 50-100 HP, but I don't want to sacrifice driveability, plus this tiny Vtec, while not fast, is peppy enough and it runs fine on 87 octane, delivering 35-40 mpg. The wheels are factory Honda that I upgraded to, with a set of Michelin Pilots 215/45/17. Sticks like glue. You know, I thought my Toyotas were nice (they certainly are reliable), but this is a step up for sure. Now for some LED rear lights and an HID kit up front (suggestions on the HID kits?). I'll try to post some pix. Love that Royal Blue.

lol....
there's mine, u wanna come back to the dark side?
but nice pic man, its a great car! as for HID, i would also sugggest a retrofit.
like my car:
but if thats out of ur budget, regular HIDs are fine.
i would stick with 4300k and IF YOU HAVE to, i wouldnt go with anythign above 6000k. the hight you go, the less light output u get. simple.
as for LED rears, i wouldnt do it. ur OEM tails look best IMO, dont FK it up.

oh yea, for HIDs get 50w because they are brighter than 35w (the normal ones)
"yourhid" is a great seller and many of us including myself have these kits:

and these are nice LEDs, kinda looks like OEM but not as good looking IMO
but these are 2006-2008, im not sure but the 09 are same tail light as the 08 coupes
